Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Awakening

The wheel had stopped, and Jason's new world was decided. "Against the Gods," the letters seemed to glow ominously as they settled into place. Jason stared at the name, a mix of excitement and apprehension coursing through him. The world he would inhabit was one of brutal power, where strength determined everything.

The ROB who still looked suspiciously like Nick Fury nodded in satisfaction. "Well, that's that," he said nonchalantly, snapping his fingers.

The next thing Jason knew, everything went dark. It was as if reality itself had been erased. Then, with a jolt, he found himself lying on the ground, surrounded by towering trees. A forest. The air was thick with the scent of earth and leaves, a breeze rustling through the canopy above.

Jason blinked, disoriented. 'Did he seriously just Thanos-snap me?' he thought, pushing himself up from the ground. As he got to his feet, something immediately felt off. Looking down at himself, he noticed he was wearing a white kimono simple, elegant, and hauntingly familiar. It was exactly like the one Sukuna had worn when he possessed Yuji Itadori.

He ran his hands over the fabric, feeling the smoothness of the material. 'What the hell…?' he thought, realization dawning on him. He was no longer in his old body this was something different. His skin, his muscles, everything felt stronger, more powerful, yet eerily foreign.

As Jason stood, a strange sensation thrummed beneath his skin, a power so intense it almost overwhelmed him. He looked down at his hands, flexing his fingers experimentally. A surge of energy rushed through him, raw and potent, unlike anything he had ever felt before. 'So this is cursed energy,' he realized, his heart pounding with exhilaration.

Jason clenched his fist, and as he did, a flood of information crashed into his mind like a tidal wave. It was as if every technique, every skill, and every bit of knowledge Sukuna had ever possessed was being downloaded directly into his brain and he now looked like sukuna in yuji's body with the tattoos.

---

Cleave, A technique designed to adjust its strength according to the target's cursed energy, ensuring it cuts with optimal power. Jason understood that this could range from cleaving through mountains to precision cuts no larger than a needle of course he'll have to properly guess based on what he's using it on.

Dismantle, A straightforward but lethal technique. It was a simple slashing attack, meant to disassemble anything in its path with sheer destructive force. The slashes could be massive and wide, tearing through the earth or sky, or they could be as small as a hairline, capable of slicing an insect without harming the leaf it stood on.

Domain Expansion - Malevolent Shrine, This was Sukuna's ultimate technique. A domain that manifests as a shrine, an area where Jason could fully control everything within its range. He understood that once this domain was active, his enemies would have nowhere to hide. The domain allowed him to unleash countless Cleave and Dismantle attacks simultaneously, bypassing all defenses.

Black Flash, A technique where cursed energy is applied within one millionth of a second after a physical hit, resulting in a spatial distortion and amplifying the damage to an immense degree. He knew that mastering this would allow him to hit with incredible force, far beyond what his physical strength alone could achieve.

Metamorphosis, Sukuna's ability to change the shape of his body at will. He could manifest additional eyes, mouths, or limbs and alter his form to adapt to any situation. Now this is very interesting, in essence it kind of grants him a bit of Mahito's powers and that this ability granted him near-complete control over his physical form, making him an unpredictable and dangerous opponent.

Hollow Wicker Basket, A technique used to neutralize the effects of other cursed techniques, effectively serving as a countermeasure against certain abilities. Jason realized its value as a defensive tool, especially when facing opponents with complex or powerful techniques.

Domain Amplification, A technique that allows the user to coat themselves or their attacks with a layer of cursed energy, neutralizing the techniques of others. Now this is an interesting technique because this was a more defensive approach compared to the full Domain Expansion, but still incredibly powerful and increasing chances of negating authorities foreign to his existence.

Dividing Soul and Body Transfer, A technique Jason inherited from Kenjaku through Sukuna's knowledge. It allowed him to divide his soul and transfer it to another body, effectively granting him a form of immortality. This technique required mastery over cursed energy and an understanding of souls, making it one of the more complex abilities in his arsenal.

Reverse Cursed Technique, The ability to heal oneself by reversing the flow of cursed energy, turning the destructive force into a regenerative one. Jason knew this was crucial for maintaining his strength and longevity, allowing him to recover from even the most grievous wounds.

Binding Vows, A powerful form of pact-making in the world of curses. Oh, how wonderful and dangerous this is. By imposing restrictions on himself, he could vastly increase his power. The stricter the vow, the greater the reward but it was also a double edge sword that takes from him just as much as he'll be gaining.

Curtain, A simple but versatile technique. A barrier that could be used for various purposes, whether to trap enemies, protect oneself, or conceal an area from outside detection.

And many more.

Jason's mind raced as he absorbed all this knowledge. The techniques were brutal and efficient, each one a tool of absolute devastation. Theories on how to utilize them swirled in his head, ideas of how to control the slashes from Cleave and Dismantle, adjusting their size and power to suit the situation. He realized he could release slashes large enough to split mountains or small enough to slice a bug with astounding precision.

His heart pounded with anticipation. He had to test this, he needed to know just how powerful he had become.

Jason looked around, searching for a suitable target. The ground seemed as good a place as any. He pulled back his fist, deciding to start small. Just a light punch, he thought. He swung his arm down, his fist connecting with the earth.

The moment his fist impacted, there was a deafening boom. The ground didn't just crack but it caved in. Dust and debris flew into the air, and when it cleared, Jason stared down at a crater at least eight meters deep, the earth shattered and broken under the force of his blow.

Jason blinked, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow. His heart raced as he processed what had just happened. 'I didn't even add cursed energy yet,' he thought, a mix of awe and fear gripping him. The raw strength he possessed now was terrifying, and he hadn't even begun to tap into the full extent of his power.
